Jimkata, the electrorock jammers making waves in the Northeast, recently released an EP of brand new material, and subsquently announced an extensive tour that will keep the quartet busy throughout the first half of 2014.

Feel In Light, the band’s third EP and sixth studio release overall, harnesses the ethereal energy that defines Jimkata’s live sound. The EP opens with “Beat The Curse,” a synth-heavy musical excursion through mystical, magical tones. The title track, “Feel In Light,” comes up next, adding some loose, melodic guitarwork into the dreamy mix. With a light touch, the guitar provides a triumphant melody that soars above a grooving, grinding beat. 

These themes and energies carry through to “Swimming In The Ocean,” with smooth vocals and catchy synth melodies all the while. With driving drum fills and guitar moments, there is no shortage of enjoyable musical moments on this track. Finally, Feel In Light ends with possibly the heaviest track of the EP, ironically titled “Lighter.” The opening lyric “You’ve got the lighter, spark up the night” signals the transformation of this guitar-riff driven tune into a full fledged frenzy.
